Swansea v Portsmouth Sat 30 Nov 15:00
The third match of the week for the Swans, but ironically bottom of the table Portsmouth’s first match since 9 November due to the International break and two postponed matches. They’ll be fresh we won’t, whether that matters we’ll soon find out.
League One Champions last season they’ve found it tough stepping up to the Championship but beat Preston 3-1 last time out. Both teams 3 defeats in the last 6 matches puts the game in perspective.
If we have any aspirations of climbing the table these are the games we must win.

Good news Swans fans!
Eom is back in contention after injury playing for South Korea.
Darling has recovered from sickness and is also available.

Those three defeats in the last 6 games
Swans 0 - Millwall 1 (91min winner)
Burnley 1 - Swans 0 (92min pen winner)
Swans 3 - Leeds 4 (91min winner)
Winner in each match coming in added time.
Those three points dropped would have put us just two points short of a play-off spot.
We only lost at top of the table Sheff Utd to an own goal from Josh Tymon.
One of those Leeds goals was an own goal by Ben Cabango.
Fine margins.

In 16 games Leeds are the only team to score more than 1 goal against us.

Portsmouth surprised us today with their high press, their tenacity and their energy. We won nothing in the air all afternoon but kept on pumping those balls into the box. Pompey weren’t rusty at all after their three week lay off.
Our defending was abysmal and while we were also mostly blunt up front our full backs couldn’t handle their wingers, Key especially.
How was this team bottom of the table with only two wins I asked. We clawed our way back into the game and should have won in the end, with our many chances but a combination of poor shooting and bad luck prevailed.
I didn’t like the over fussy ref, who stopped the game ever time a Portsmouth player faked injury to slow the game down or the linesmen who only looked for off sides and didn’t keep up with play or the goalkeeper taking an age each time to kick the ball out, this was blatantly ignored by the ref.
A performance best forgotten and to move on.

Outfought on the day boys. Not at the races until we were two goals down. Whether it was fatigue through three games in six days hard to say. After a rocket from Luke at half-time I thought our second half performance deserved the win though, we just couldn’t get that third goal, Schmid making several good saves.
